June 20, 2005
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) – Faculty members at UC Santa Barbara have inducted 101 high-achieving seniors into the UCSB chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest honorary academic society. Earning special honors were Alisha Dahlstrom, of Auburn Hills, MI, Matianna Baldassari, of Benecia, and Adam Rounds, of Livermore. Dahlstrom, an environmental studies and aquatic biology major, was awarded the Katherine Esau Phi Beta Kappa Honor Key. Named in memory of a distinguished UCSB biology professor, the award is given to a student whose academic achievement, breadth of program, and seriousness of purpose best represent the ideals of the society. Baldassari received the William Frost Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Key, given to an English major who has demonstrated the highest level of academic excellence. The award was established to honor the late UCSB English professor for his contributions to improving the quality of a liberal arts education. Rounds, an English and religious studies major, was presented the Lawrence Willson Phi Beta Kappa Honor Key, which is given to a Regents Scholar who best represents the overall ideals of the society. It is named in memory of Willson, a UCSB professor of English and founder of the campus chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Phil Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 and currently includes more than 500,000 members.
